Access to "Folder" is limited
In the last day or so, I have started to get this error message whenever I try and move a local file:
"Access to "Folder" is imited
We'll keep access to file.tmp the same. Add people to FOLDER to...
Daphne,
No this file has not been shared with anyone else and this is happening in the entire team folder for every file. I did notice that I only get this warming when moving a file, not when copying, deleting, or creating a new file. Thats what makes it strange. You would think if my access was really restricted, I would not be able to delete a file with getting a warning.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Joe F, are you able to move the files via the Dropbox site, and not file explorer, directly into the appropriate folders?
Hey Jay
Yes I can move files on via the Drop Box website without get the Access Limited error. And just to be clear, I can still move files, I just keep the annoying warming dialog box and have to click Continue Moving.

We appreciate the feedback, as this is a team folder, this would be a security feature to ensure that you're aware that you're moving files to and from the folder itself, which could affect other members.
If you wish, you can suggest and idea to remove this prompt, for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!
Jay,
So you are telling me this dialog box is a security feature!?? Was this just implemented? Because it only starting happening last week. And why doesnt my boss get this warning message? And why don't I get this message when I move files via the website, only Windows Exporer? And why don't I get a warning message when I delete a file? Certainly that would affect other users. This doesn't make sense. Can you tell me the history of when this security feature was implemented? ie the date and build?
